The metal screeched and groaned as they climbed onto the springs.

The metal creaked and groaned around her as though it might collapse at any moment.

The metal groaned in harmony with them and lifted off the floor a few centimeters.

The metal groaned and cut into his fingers, but he refused to ease up.
